Hey man,

Sorry for the delay in replying, I don't actually surf the forums much any more now that I'm not working from home. So are you sorted or would you like me to vectorise and scale that for you?

If people are chasing stuff best bet is to PM me as I get a notification then. I usually get a bit of time on the weekends to mess around.

Cheers,
Phil

Thanks for getting back to me, Phil. I don't have next gen tools, but I was actually able to print a mashup to pdf which appears to be vectorised as it remained smooth as I zoomed in. All I needed was Paint to erase bits (upside down clef dots) & to copy from part of the second "o" over the conjunction of the upside down clef's tail/dot with the first "o". Did all that at about page width (8" or 20cm) scale. Happy to receive input from the graphical design perspective if you think there's clearly room for improvement

I don't have next gen tools,

A useful open source for creating and editing vectors is inkscape. I first got into it to create decals for my cars on Gran Turismo Sport, and it's turned out to be a useful tool in the physical world to create actual vinyl decals, air brush masks.. even guitar plans.

I think I'll be happy with this:

I find the text a bit confusing myself and at first glance, to me it reads 'Cabbytone' after a bass clef. I think the 'I' would be clearer if there was a small break in the crosspiece of the T, so it also acted as the dot for the 'I'.

Quick example here, but I'm sure you could round the ends over a bit to smooth things out.



But it's your design, so it's 100% your choice.

Thanks for the input, Simon. Here's another attempt to incorporate your suggestions.
